Uruguay announces adoption of International Definition of Antisemitism

Uruguay has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism.

The Government of Uruguay adopted the Definition in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, and thus becomes the first country in South America to adopt the Definition.

Campaign Against Antisemitism applauds the decision, which demonstrates the Uruguayan Government’s solidarity with the Jewish community.

Britain was the first country in the world to adopt the International Definition, something for which Campaign Against Antisemitism and Lord Pickles worked hard over many meetings with officials at Downing Street.

Uruguay joins a growing list of national governments and public bodies to use the Definition.
